Horoscope

My horoscopes have been pretty ironic lately....

"You are pretty confused about someone's behavior, but that doesn't mean that you can't get along with them just fine. Don't bother trying to figure them out just now, though -- save that for later. "

It's Her Birthday!

My beautiful Luna is 6 years old today!! We sang happy birthday today and did some wiggling in the kitchen and she had an extra special birthday kong and some homemade liver treats! I also have a huge stuffed toy for her to destroy - of course she will be closely surpervised after the squeaker fiasco this year. After such a tough year for her this birthday just seems extra special! GO LUNA IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!

Bad Dog Trainer

Okay so I am going to allow myself one day to pout...we flunked the shows this weekend, but that isn't what I am upset about. Fluke was really stressed on Sunday and that just makes me think I am the worst dog trainer ever - I should not have pushed him this far. Today's show very well may be the last show he ever does and I hate to end his obedience career on such a yucky note. I wouldn't be pouting if we flunked and he at least had a good time. Bought him breakfast on the way home and I think that made him a little bit happier. I have to re-evaluate my training goals with Luna and Stella...this is all supposed to be for fun...for the me and the dogs. As for Fluke he is on vacation (permanent?) and now he can bark as much as he wants and life is all stress free from now on!

Duh

So I realized that something I had been waiting for and thought I could only achieve at a certain moment has actually been right under my nose. It's not the ribbons or the scores it is the deep connection - the bond between human and dog. In that area Fluke and I are first place. We've been training a lot to try our best to finish up this title and in the process I have been reminded that his little body is aging. I have told a few people that he really can't do this much longer - his mind wants to but his body is not the most sound. Some people have told me - oh he can do it - he'll be fine and I started to believe that but, this week I was given a little wake up call. So Fluke has been on a couple of days of rest and I am optimistic that we will be ok to show this weekend. It would be great for everything to go our way but if it doesn't it just means that we flunked another show but we sure have not flunked what's most important in life.

So True...

It is so true that you can judge a person by how they treat dogs. Think about it...and watch.

Today's Thought

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." ~ Mark Twain

Great Weekend

It was a great weekend and Fluke still didn't get that last UD leg! We flunked both days but he tried so hard and he has improved so much. He might be over 9 years old but he'll always be my baby. I am proud of him. Speaking of babies...I saw some Chocolate pups yesterday. They were beautiful and chubby and playful and they had puppy breath. Also spent some time with two very wonderful friends. A weekend full of dogs and friends - my kind of weekend!
